Finding out when a command in a pipeline fails
Suppose you are in the situation from last entry andwant to know whether may-fail actually failed, and you don't want tojust split the pipeline up and use a temporary file.
In Bash, a commentator on the last entry pointed out that this issimple: you can use the $PIPESTATUS array variable to see the outputstatus of any command in the pipeline. The same feature is available inzsh, but it uses $pipestatus (lower case), just to be different.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, most of the people who've commented on my lastentry have attributed this behavior to people'sdesire to get their issues dealt with promptly (to some, this is jumpingthe queue; what you could call a 'vigorous discussion' has broken outin the comments about this, rather to my surprise). I have a couple ofreactions to this view.
First, I am pretty sure that this is not why people here do it, at leastfor the kind of cases that I
A Unix irritation: pipeline status
Let's start with a Bourne shell irritation. Suppose you have a commandsequence that looks like:
may-fail | grep ...
Further suppose that you want to know whether may-fail actuallyfailed. In the normal Bourne shell, you're out of luck; the exit statusof a pipeline is the exit status of the last command, and grep willprobably succeed no matter what happens to may-fail . You're goingto need to use a temporary file instead of the pipeline or
